I’d pick Uneekor out of this list. Flexible software options, Club data, accurate and easy to set up. HD, About, Full Swing are over priced and they need to build the room. Hawk is good but similar to Uneekor plus you can only play FSX. I haven’t tried to connect TGC so it’s possible but hasn’t been tried.My Courses:

It's amazing these companies like About golf and Foresight won't get over themselves and make a, not cost prohibitive, overhead camera system. Or any entry level system. Within one year the Uneekor is gaining market share and coming to be the People's Choice. But hey,
I just thought of this now. Foresight should price the hawk competitively and limit some of the software and Analysis options and like Tesla allow you to pay more to open up more of the capabilities. Bottom line is you need to move hardware and get an install user base no matter what and that should be the priority. Grow your ecosystem idiots. Broaden customer golf software options too geez. I don't know if I took one business class either. Lol. The common man market has to be huge in the next 5 years and they're going to miss out. I could see Uneekor dominating by taking over the average consumer who just wants to get in on it and then later on coming out with their super high-end professional unit.Comment

And here we have somebody willing to spend $70,000 and the recommendations here are STILL for the Uneekor from the Forum. The Bell Tolls for these delicate genius super overpriced companies. A Henry Ford Model T situation is going to take over and Uneekor might be that company.Comment

I just think that for the market that FS is going after they need to really upgrade their game in the software department. You are correct Uneekor has done a great job in pushing the market, but Foresight has a pretty good name behind it at the moment with an already large established user base that have paid for a premium piece of hardware. For the Hawk and the higher end install though they have to have the software to back it up. Uneekor sounds great and really opened up the market, but I don’t think this will get FS to change the direction that they are going.Comment

Foresight needs to have a launch monitor in the $995 range and other software options with it, not fsx. Affordable. You market it as a Christmas gift or whatever. Get some hype and common household name branding. Just like you do when you're a company that makes smartphones you need to cover the market at different price points. I don't know why I'm suddenly am letting out this rant lol
. I'm just sick of watching them screw this up. This is a Grassroots way to build golf that is obviously dying on the vine too.

Thanks for all the input everyone. I am pretty sure Im going to pull the trigger on the Uneekor.Comment

I am close to pulling the trigger on a multisport installed setup using the EyeXO and Truegolf Multi sport package. The other contender for my $$$ is HD. Its interesting to me that HD gets minimal credibility on this forum. Is the dismissal of HD largely due to price? From what I can tell, on an apples to apples comparison to EyeXO and Truegolf Multi sport, HD is about 20K more, fully installed. That price includes 100% of HD's multisport packages, however, HD's Video Swing Analysis and Boditrack (weight analysis) is another 8k or so.Comment

I think there's just not that many HD Golf users on the forum, or if there are, they don't post much. About one post a month in the HD Golf forum.Comment

HD is hugely expensive and mostly used in commercial sims. I considered it when I got mine but I wasn't blown away. It was a lot of money. For me, I prefer digitally made courses in a Sim. It played ok in testing but I heard the word "custom" a lot which to me means money and no flexibility. The sims guys have here can use almost all software packages and can be installed themselves.Originally posted by FairwayFred View PostMy Courses:

I think there's no question that HD has a quality product. I'm not sure the OP's price comparison is accurate. If I remember correctly, HD is proprietary and doesn't play well with other sim programs but perhaps they're worth another look. When I first started looking at sims, they were the most expensive units and were designed more for PGA pros and fitters than they were your average golfer looking to play a few rounds online.--
What Could Possibly Go Wrong?Comment

I honk HD is just a bit more pricey. It is a good quality sim though and the graphics do look nice. The one downside that I recall on the older units was you needed to use a marked ball for spin. Not sure if this is still true or not, but is something else to consider. I also prefer the images that are digital.Comment

I've noticed you didn't mention Golfzon. I don't know whether they are any good thoughComment
-
I have heard they are good as well, but have not seen them mentioned here for some reason. I assume they are more expensive than the popular Uneeker Eye XO, but curious how it compares. -
Yes, much more expensive. We didn't consider them ourselves because they are too expensive for our budget. It looks quite advanced with a self-teeing solution, different surfaces, gradient, ... but well, above our budget
For 70k it might be worth having a look into them though

@leomode did a very good write up of Golfzon and other Korean monitors. You can find it all on his blog.Comment
